In response to Baltimore's first touchdown, the Patriots took no time to engineer their first (and only) touchdown drive of the game.

Welker caught three passes on this drive, totaling 32 yards and this touchdown, which put the Patriots up by a score of 10-7 and capped off an impressive 11-play drive that took nearly six minutes off the clock.

Dennis Pitta Responds with an Exclamation Mark

Pitta took a huge shot from Jerod Mayo after catching a short pass from Joe Flacco.

It was one of those "woo" hits that fans love to see and players love to make, but it didn't deter Pitta from coming back with a "hit" of his own.

On the very next play, Pitta caught a five-yard pass for a touchdown that put the Ravens up by a score of 14-13 and proved to be the last score that Baltimore needed to win the game.

StevanRidley Coughs Up the Ball at the Worst Possible Time

Down by eight points, the Patriots needed a score early in the fourth quarter.

Then, disaster struck.

Ridley was clobbered by safety Bernard Pollard, and he lost the ball on the vicious hit. The Ravens recovered the fumble, and the Patriots were never able to get going in the second half.

Anquan Boldin Owns the Second Half

Well, this isn't entirely true. Some of the credit goes to the Ravens defense, which pitched a shutout in the second half.

But Boldin was a man amongst boys against the secondary of the Patriots in the second half.

Boldin finished the contest with five catches for 60 yards, and his two touchdowns in the fourth quarter put a cap on what was a dominant victory by Baltimore over its fierce rival.
